KRATOS THE GOD SLAYER | First Time Playing God of War 3 - Part 1

[@matiasgago]

DESTROY THAT LIKE BUTTON WITH VENGEANCE For anyone that hasn’t seen the community tab updates I waited over 8 hours for KZbin to process this video, it’s never taken this long and quite frankly I have no idea why but it is what it is I’ve done enough raging for one day. I don’t care if this video flops due to the time I’m posting this, you guys have waited so goddamn long since the announcement and I just wanna finally start this journey with y’all ❤️

A piece of greek Mythology that is often overlooked is the fact that Poseidon is also the god of horses, and is usually represented with horses.

[@matiasgago]

That's so cool!

[@ZeallustImmortal]

@@matiasgago Its also where the trojan horse story likely came from. Troy had its walls destroyed by a flood, there was no big wooden horse, it was the god of horses that knocked the wall down and let them in.

[@bruh5073]

It was a ship not a horse that they used​@@ZeallustImmortal

[@iWillWakeYouUp]

Someone watched the GOW3 making of documentary.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

@@bruh5073 Where did you hear that? It was quite literally a flood that buried the city, and the legend is all about a big horse. So you best have some damn good evidence to follow that.

[@ExtremeGameplays1]

Ahh, man. Your reactions to things happening remind me of my first time playing this game. Except, mine were 10 times more hype :D Glad you're enjoying PEAK!

[@ALI-MK-e5g]

Zesty what are you doing here boooy😂🔥🔥 Love you man you’re like Aphrodite to me 😂❤️

[@keithkool8308]

Don’t forget this is ps3 game. Looks better than most new games coming out. Love these series. 1-2-3 are the best GOW games ever!!

[@booket2391]

LETS GOOO!!!! THE START OF THE END 🔥🔥🔥

[@matiasgago]

THE GODS ARE FAAAACKED

[@reddemon6668]

Let’s goooooo!!!!

[@laxor5902]

6:50 Thats the wagon that Helios uses to "drive" the sun around. Some say even Zeus himself couldn't ride the wagon. One myth describes the son of Helios getting one wish from his father. The son decides to ride the wagon. His father accepts, but of course, the son isn't powerful enough to ride the wagon. He crashed into Africa (with the sun) and scorched a big part of the continent. That's how the ancient Greeks explained that ppl in Africa are darker of colour and how the desert came to be. The story ends with the son getting smited by Zeus because Gaia (Earth) begged Zeus to end the suffering she was enduring (the scorched Sahara).

[@RabeaMassaad]

Man… I remember when this came out. I was sooo hyped and the brutality straight out the gate was so satisfying hahah. Suuuuch a banger

[@Jaaz7]

GOD SLAYER MODE. I'm thrilled that you finally get to steer away from streaming games! Ain't no lag no more babyyy

[@matiasgago]

Best thing ever bro AND subtitles lmao

[@GirlofCulture]

Funfact: The very first director and gamedesigner of the first Game, David Jaffe had the idea for the thrid game, long ago.. Zeus' had to day at the very beginning, with Hades and Poseidon..and Kratos would be done, and then Seth.. the egyptian god of war would appear and challenge kratos. And we are still waiting for this.. ;)

[@konstantinosmousetis8526]

1:14:49 The young soul is actually calliope😢

[@adelindanaila]

Lesgooooo! I actually fell asleep waiting for the episode to come out, lol. Man, everytime i see the intro of this game, it gives me the chills. The same with "The hands of death could not defeat me, the sisters of fate could not hold me, and you WILL NOT SEE THE END OF THIS DAY! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" Oh, and also "chicken".

[@Jogmog]

Hey Mati. I like your God of War Playthroughs. And this one was awesome too. I'm excited for your next Episode.

[@DemolitionRaccoon]

Let's fucking GOOOOO! So hyped for this, Gow3 is one of my favourite games of all time, and now the GOAT Mati is experiencing it! Love you dude! Now time to watch it all unfold.. 🔥🔥

[@TheBigHoffa0824]

Fun fact if u didn’t know already hades is voiced by the same man who voices the legendary Mr Krabs from SpongeBob

[@zanderbeasley5868]

GOW 4 and 5 may have the feels and emotional growth, but they got nothing on this absolute beast of a game.

[@kyle1806]

3 is an unrelenting game. I think after the Greek saga, the maturity and sophistication of the Norse saga can be better appreciated

[@SolidSnake240]

Facts. I still play the older games to this day. I beat 2018 and never returned to it, ended up selling Ragnarok lol.

[@f5673-t1h]

The Norse games are all just pretentious bull. "growth", "maturity", "sophistication"... it's a supposed to be a GAME ffs

[@TheBeastNC]

​@user-jc2lz6jb2e It's called character development. Kratos mature along with us, well that's how I felt.

[@thuyetminhgame445]

The growth is necessary, but do they need to change almost everything? Imagine they kept the gameplay and camera style, but with modern graphics, those 2 games would be much much more satisfying to play

[@kyle1806]

We're here Mati, the community is ironed on we ain't gonna let this video flop! Btw GoW 4 and 5 are generally shoe ins for great viewership on youtube so even if the GoW journey has taken a bit of a small downturj in views from the FROMSoft journey (and lets be real, just about anything would!) yoy can exoect to see an outsized viewership on the next 2 games as compared to the Greek saga. Either way, the important thing is you are enjoying yourself. Take it all in man, i wish i could go back and do all the GoW games over for the first time. We all do. Sadly we cant, but luckily experiencing it vicariously through you is about as good a substitute as possible!

[@ALI-MK-e5g]

Let’s go, finally GOW3 baby 🔥 (Still hungry mati?🐓🐓🐓😂) 47:13 Persephone she is Hades wife peirithous (which is her secret lover by the way) is the one that you burned to get the bow of Apollo Hades find out and torture him You will meet Persephone if you play God of war chains of Olympus 1:14:55 Calliope (Kratos daughter) wrote this message before she goes to Elysium fields (which is like heaven) You will know more about it if you play God of war chains of Olympus 1:16:34 Yes, that’s Kratos‘s mother and yes, Kratos has brother You will know everything about his mother and brother if you play God of war ghost of Sparta (ghost of Sparta story is so deep maybe more than the original ones by the way) Thank you for your effort man I really enjoy watching you play those games❤

[@Mythology216]

In no actual myths are Peirithous and Persephone secretly lovers. Peirithous and Theseus, who were close friends, pledged to marry daughters of Zeus after each of their wives died. Theseus chose Helen of Sparta. They kidnapped her when she was quite young, sources vary on her exact age, to hold her captive until she was old enough to marry. Peirithous chose Persephone. Theseus tried to talk his friend out of this blasphemous act, but was bound by his oath to help. Some sources say that they sat down to rest before ever reaching Hades' palace, and were unable to get up until Heracles eventually freed Theseus. Others say that Hades pretended to welcome them, and threw them a feast, and it was then when they got stuck to their seats.

[@Nemo-um7gp]

Nice spoilers bro

[@vlad_47]

"PersePhone"

[@vaughnkendall1983]

This was awesome man!! This game is one of the best. I got it the day it came out and fell in love with it right away. It came inside a collectors chest of Pandora’s box and an art book of the game that I still have and use. I can’t wait to watch you beat this one.

[@platinum_vault]

This game is the definition of epic. The camera in this is so cinematic. Man, I miss this game. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Mati. I salute you for the hustle you do to give us Premium entertainment. My sub is just a small +1, but man, you have earned it! I am so glad, you play the trilogy. it will enrich your experience with the newer GoW games by a lot, I think. You experience where kratos comes from. And that investment will pay of big time. for you and for us. All the love in the world to you.

[@mr.blonde-wnt]

FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS

[@MarkBraggs]

One of the most brutal satisfying game openings EVER!

[@Nosajus84]

Hey Mati found your channel from the first God of War video and man it’s been a blast watching your Souls journey over the last few weeks. Keep being awesome. (I’d recommend playing the new Dead Space remake it’s incredible)

[@liammech6694]

The voice of Hades is so good. It's funny to me because it's almost the same as Uka Uka from Crash Bandicoot 3, whom Clancy Brown also voiced. Also, the note at 1:16:33 is Kratos' mother, and the previous note was his daughter. It's kind of a spoiler, but I think you already said you wanted to skip the two games that came before this one.

[@senjaygurpa]

Yes there's lots of great moments and explanation in those games that he missed. I'm sure if he knew, he would've wanted to play them first. Kratos' Mother, Brother, Daughter. Atlas' fate and the reason he hates Kratos in GOW2. Hades wife and the reason he hates Kratos in GOW3, etc.

[@TomothyM70]

Clancy brown also voices Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob

[@K1ll0r83k1ll3d]

So excited to watch you play through this banger! Please consider GOW 2018 and Ragnerok after this - the vibes are a bit different but I love Kartos' character development and the story and combat is so good

[@drew-iu1xo]

So hyped for this, dont be discouraged about what some of the gods say in this game that you dont understand. They will speak about events that have happened in the psp games you didnt play yet.

[@EthanM606]

LETS GOOOOOO 🎉

[@Mustafa_AKA_Mo]

Let’s go! Keep em comin

[@matiasgago]

Appreciate the dono bro

[@jasonbullockjr6356]

OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING!!! MATI WASNT THAT INTRO SO COOL?!? It’s like: Other video games: are you excited?! *shows clips of what’s to come* And then God of War 3 is all like: Are you excited?! *recaps one AND two* now let’s go kick Zeus is ass! What I’m trying to say is: IM SO HYPED FOR YOU TO PLAY THIS!!!

[@matiasgago]

Best way to start bro got me SO HYPED

[@martinbeier5007]

After so many years, this game has aged gracefully. Seeing how much enthusiasm and admiration you play this masterpiece with is great cinema Mati... I very rarely write comments but today I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the many hours best entertainment

[@Kitaro-khan]

As a big fan of God of war games. It makes me happy to see others play the game for the first time and enjoy it. It somehow makes me feel proud that others came to love what I have. Love to see you continue this series!

[@ni__z4r]

AND ALSO THE GIRL WHO'S IN THE ELYSIUM FIELD IS CALLIOPE ( KRATOS DAUGHTER )

[@GirlofCulture]

This was such a blast when it came out in 2010... it is so good up to this day. Kratos never hat lots of chill, but in this game.. playtime it is over and it will be so sweet when you finally start God of War 2018..which is my absolute favorite from all the games + the Ghost of Sparta title.

[@daedriclink]

Hells yeah man!! Hyped for this beast! Our vengeance ends now!!

[@doughytown4188]

God of war 3 was my intro to the series. My dad gifted it to me one day, telling me it was about Ares. I booted up the game, and realized that Ares was dead, and I’d clearly missed a lot of context. But I still had a blast the whole playthrough. God of War is my favorite game series.

[@Leon_bro10]

Being a member since GOW Day 1 and we came a long way!! Thank you Mati for this experience❤

[@metal-xscrap7468]

It's kinda funny we keep seeing the boat captain over and over again in each game lol it reminds me a lot of Patches from the souls games

[@dantesprophet9612]

I immediately clicked. Again. You have the amazing ability to make me hurl my current task away just to watch. The note that came from the young soul was his daughter. The note that mentioned his wife child and brother came from his mother. The note about the guy wanting to take Persephone was the one you set on fire. (These aren't spoilers you never get told any of that in game.) Oh and the guy who voiced Hades voiced Mr. Krabs from Spongebob. Good luck unhearing that now lol. Also Chicken.

[@thekatarnalchemist]

And the voice of Poseidon was every Legion soldier in Skyrim, and also Fenris from Dragon Age 2. Meanwhile, Zeus is the inimitable Corey Burton, aka Count Dooku and Hugo Strange.

[@Wessy-wy8oz]

16:00 that's not Atlas. Remember, Atlas has four arms, and he's holding the world right now.

[@carl-filipquick5936]

but didn't kratos take al the titans back from before atlas was chained to hold the world in the end of gow 2 ? he saved them in the great war right ?

[@Wessy-wy8oz]

@@carl-filipquick5936 Not sure about that, but either way that ain't Atlas.

[@CarlFilipQuick]

​@@Wessy-wy8ozye i know but think about it 😂 where is he ?

[@DoctorDoom_editz]

​@@CarlFilipQuickanother theory is kratos was too late and he got there AFTER atlas was dead

[@dylanhopkins5934]

There's a reason why so many people think this one is the best of the trilogy! Its EPIC from start to finish! Literally it starts off epic! In fact, every God of War has an epic start to it and thats part of why I love them so much. This GoW also has my favorite selection of weapons in the og trilogy. The addition of the bow and the item power is an underrated ability too. Oh and btw, Gaia isn't your wife!😂If anything she's more like a grand mother or something. Thought you should know before you call her wife or baby again.😁Anyways, can't wait for the next part!!!

[@caseywilliams4145]

The other note was definitely from kratos's mother I don't remember if she's in the chains of Olympus or in the ghost of Sparta but yeah that's definitely talking about Kratos

[@hussainabdullah8784]

That what I was was waiting for

[@tfree1239]

Yessss I’m so happy to see this posted already!! I’ve been waiting since you finished the second one!!

[@RickTopping]

Dude... I have been waiting for you to start this!!! I'm excited for you to be able to experience it for the first time. My favorite one. Enjoy.

[@KevinBrown-lv2fk]

i dont know if you figure it out in this episode yet. But now the button prompts show up on screen in a fight in the same place as they are on the controller. x is bottom of the screen and triangle top of the screen just like the controller etc.

[@joyboyg5780]

I saw you didn’t realize but that note you found after going through the portal was actually calliopes note (kratos’s daughter) after she went to the underworld

[@SangiovoCroissant]

Bro, I'm from Brazil and KZbin recommended your channel to me last week, since then I've watched dozens of your videos, I'm already a regular subscriber, keep up your great videos!

[@joedirt1528]

Love watching you play these, i'm starting to get hyped when I see a new video is out

[@Slamyourclam]

Chicken. Also, fav new let's play channel. Love it bud, keep it up.

[@Gottagoslower]

I felt the same way as you half an hour into the game I thought: "This is the first fight?????????"

[@azn.g]

It only gets better from here mati! Just finished gow 3, starting to play gow 4 it is so good and i felt a big difference from gow 3 (gow 3 still my favorite until now tho)

[@tehCostHD]

This game and then GOW4 and GOWR are gonna be so fun to watch you play. I’m so exicted

[@TheShark94700]

Ragnarok will be boring

[@Betoni]

Note most likely was written by Kratos' mother, if youd have played ghost of sparta youd know what happened to Kratos' brother.

[@1brianescobar]

Let’s go! Waiting all week for this. Saturday morning here. Perfect to watch while having breakfast

these series have been amazing

[@UndeathA-J]

[@OlDirtyBandit]

This looks so good. I forgot how big of a jump 2-3 was in terms of god of war and PlayStation

[@ZeusSolosTheVerse]

1:16:55 that was kratos's mother text

[@its_dropdead]

I haven't finished watching the video yet, but I want to add a tip since I saw you struggle with the buttons placements when having a mini game and the button you should press pops on right left bottom or top, it's the same as the controllers button layout, so left is square, up is triangle, right is circle and bottom is x. this makes it easier so you shouldn't even look at the button you can enjoy the cinematics of Kratos killing it without looking at what button actually it is and missing out on stuff. edit: ok... you noticed it later, lol

[@xPhasezoid]

Let's gooooo!! Been waiting on more of the series!!!

[@Taylro-96]

Greetings from Costa Rica, always great to see a new fan of this awesome franchise and one of the best characters of all time!

[@ponderingism]

You should also play gow ghost of Sparta it’s set after gow1 and goes a lot into kratos backstory

[@klasyk1532]

Aight! Been waiting all day for this! LETS GO!!!!!

[@mythic7875]

Can't even tell you how excited I was seeing this on my KZbin feed 😂😂

[@benjamina261]

This game man... It really is one in a billion! It's awesome that you're playing it!

[@huntergaming1461]

I Really waiting for the episode to come, very Exicited to see this

[@Binkle_Berry]

A fun fact (if I remember correctly). But I think there was supposed to be a power vacuum in terms of who would rule over Olympus in the absence of Zeus, so other gods from different pantheons were supposed to be fought, but it was eventually scrapped either for console capabilities of the time or simply not a big enough budget. Also, glad your enjoying this absolute experience so far.

[@kaiderhai86]

1:07:21😂😂 that was creative as hell

[@BrunoVelius]

Let's go!!!! I'm very excited to see you play this game, it's one of the best of the saga and I can't wait to see you play the new ones as well.

[@chrisgregg1317]

All the way to the end. Well done Mati this play though has been so hype keep up the highly entertaining content bro

[@justiniani.4501]

You should definitely spam the Bow of Apollo. The item bar it uses recharges infinitely, so t's basically free chip damage from any distance, not to mention it's actually deceptively high-damage for what it is. If also has this neat feature where if a burning enemy runs into another burning enemy, that enemy will also be set on fire.

[@JD-se4ov]

FINALLY!!! I've been waiting since God of War 1 part 1 for this!

[@Atreus7423]

1:16:34 to know more about this u must play god of war ghost of sparta

[@dustinhead9367]

If you do the side games my guy. Please just make sure that you play the ghost of Sparta last. As of it ties the story the best for the very ending of kratos story after you beat the new gods love your videos keep it up

[@Thevikingninja117]

LETS GO!!!!! This game is sooooo hype! Also nice Bleach shirt!

[@IzidioAlex]

This game has a bit of a Metroidvania feel to it, several areas have things that you can't access the first time, only after you return with an upgrade

[@NooksYT]

1 unavailable video is hidden..? *CRONOS!!?*

[@jeremyrm7]

57:54 don’t know how much you are into books but with how much you seem to enjoy dramatic irony or classic drama I really recommend the first 3 Horus Heresy books of Warhammer. Within 3 books it feels like you’ve witnessed the collapse of a hero and a great empire. Horus Rising, False Gods, Galaxy in Flames.

[@CyberSlime98]

This is going to be EPIC!!!! Thank you for the content Mati!

[@josoares6284]

God of war 3 has an intro that feels more like an end game climax

[@gamingsaga9778]

Just a cool fact I learned. Apparently the devs worked on this part of the game last. After all the knowledge and skills they learned while making the rest of the game. That's why it looks and plays so awesome. Essentially the last thing the did before release.

[@WisdomZombie]

Let's goooo !!! Bring olympus down Mati !!

[@Pickaxe_Muderer]

17:55 I’ve played this game so many times and this is the first time I’ve ever noticed the corpse of Aries in the ice

[@cruzcamel]

They don’t make em like this anymore. God of war 3 is one my all time favorites. Love this guy’s giddy reactions. Reminds me of why I fell in love with games like this in the first place.
